Description
The best Mulled Wine recipe ever. Slightly sweet, fruity and warmly spiced, this cozy cocktail is guaranteed to be a cold weather favorite.
Ingredients
- 1 bottle (750ml Size) Red Wine (I Recommend A Merlot Or A Cabernet Sauvignon)
- ¼ cups Brandy (optional)
- 1 whole Orange, Juiced And Zested
- 3 sticks Cinnamon
- 2 whole Star Anise
- 8 whole Cloves
- ⅛ teaspoons Nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoons Ground All-spice
- 1 Tablespoon Honey
Preparation
Pour red wine into a medium saucepan. Add the remaining ingredients to the wine. I like to wrap the cloves in cheesecloth, so that I can easily remove them when the wine is ready. If you don’t have cheesecloth, relax. You can always strain your mulled wine before serving.
Bring the wine to a simmer and allow is to simmer gently for 30 minutes. If you have more time, by all means keep it simmering away!
Ladle warm mulled wine into glasses (straining if necessary) and garnish each with a little orange zest, a cinnamon stick and a star anise if you’re feeling fancy. Drink and be merry!
